I haven’t found a solution for my own row garden that doesn’t require too many inputs. I am hoping that Helen can solve my expensive input (mulch, fertilizer, tractor tillage) issues.

Parabéns você é uma mulher guerreira acompanho seu trabalho aqui de ALAGOAS BRASIL 🇧🇷👏🏽
👏👏👍👌⚘
BOM DIA👍
You can survive any place now
amazing …..
Yeah boy – move the greenhouse closer – actually all vegtatable beds close to house – then berries and property perimeter the fruit trees – (?)
I think your garden looks great.when you video tape it’s like going on an adventure,it’s a mini holiday before going out in to this crazy world to work.
I hope ur new greenhouse project received alot of helping hands to complete the task. How do u use ur motherwart? I'm amazed by ur fig tree, maybe I can find a wind protected spot to grow one too! Love ur systems tfs 💚🌱
Thank you for sharing your permaculture paradise! Great idea to simplify! As time goes on, you know what works best for your situation! The rabbits look so happy in their habitat!
Great tour! Too much abundance is a good problem! Not sure if you've done it this way, but how about creating a "harvest calendar?" Start with earliest harvest of the year and chart outputs for ALL of the mouths on your farmstead and see if you have any need/strong desire gaps that the "time" resource might be manipulated to create a better flow.
Good morning! I noticed in permaculture there are zones: zone 0 your house; zone 1 your garden; zone 2 your orchard; zone 3 your farm; zone 4 semi-managed; zone 5 wild. Your garden being closest to your home for easier access, more frequent attention and harvest. The other zones requiring less attention. Maybe considering that would help you in your planning. I like your channel.
You are a darling lady sister 🧖❤️🔥
whar happened to your wee house with rocket stove?
If you have a food pantry in your area, you could one day every week harvest that food and donate fresh to those less fortunate than you, instead of letting it go to waste. Here’s another thought let a friend or two come once every other week and harvest.
I learned a lot from this video and listening to your thinking. I have watched you for awhile and have tried some of your ideas here. It is very dry in our NM desert and hard to get enough water. The soaker hose idea has really helped where I have used it so plan to expand on that. I am working to fill a hot bed. I just bought ducks and more rabbits last weekend. I need to plant more than I have in succession.
So many things to consider. Hotbed pros: cost efficient, season extending, comfortable work height, composting system, easy to set up watering system, easier to protect from animals, can be used to heat greenhouse for animals, or house animals. Cons: not as attractive as other beds, labor intensive when breaking down/setting up, possibly difficult to source pallets. To consider: time, energy, aging, efficiency, work flow, distance from house, illness, chronic illness, disability, expense, beauty. One solution: to allow some beds to become "cold beds," permaculture style, allowing annuals to self seed. Did I miss anything? At this point, you know that the height and heat of hotbeds works, and are trying to decide whether to reduce the annual work burden by allowing beds to go cold and incorporate self-seeding. You know that proximity to the house works, but you also realize that proximity will be increased by better traffic flow to the gate.
Keep it up
if anything I'd grow corn or something in the far away place. That way you only have to set it up and harvest 1x a year. Maybe you could plant a bunch of fava beans next to the corn and chop and drop it when they start to go to flower to give the corn a nice boost of nitrogen. As far as greenhouses have you looked at ldspreppers greenhouse? It uses geothermal to keep it warm all through the winter in idaho, you could use it in the winter to grow stuff, and also for any starts you do each year
Make it biennale beds. Hot the first year. Self seed the second year and rebuild the third year. I have the same problem; If i harvest all I need at the close beds then I don't get to the further ones. So they are delegated to winter squash and potatoes.
Love your Goldy lox's
Good for you listening to what uour kids need and not just expecting them to want to do what you would do .
Has to be challenging to be so successful that you over produce and can't justify expanding. As long as it mostly works . Create content on what your YouTube channel viewers found most interesting and do mini courses for those topics. Even if its just managing cleaning up hot beds.
Julie; you mentioned how well the kiddy pools work for potatoes. If you get rid of them, will it not create a difficulty later when dealing with the potato harvest? Are you not just trading work now for work later?
Just on the point of aesthetics. Currently you're using shipping pallets for your hotbeds. Have you thought of weaving them out of hazel or willow? Looks great and it's a self sufficient way to produce structures like that. You can also use it to produce the hoops and it's very very cheap. Hazel will also produce hazelnuts for your family/pigs.
Only downside is that it takes a while to grow and I'm not sure if it'd do well somewhere dry. Once you get it going though it can be harvested every ten years or so and it'll grow right back from the stump.
